Australian Army Infantry Museum

 

The Australian Army Infantry Museum is the custodian of Infantry Corps history and its customs and traditions.

The museum collection ranges from the colonial armies and their first deployments overseas in the 19th century through to today’s diggers.

Gallipoli, Passchendaele, Kokoda and Long Tan are all brought to life. Showcased are less familiar deployments like the New South Wales Marine Light Infantry deployment to Peking in 1900, and the 1993 Cambodian peacekeeping mission of the platoon from 2nd/4th Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment.

The display space is divided into two main areas. The lower floor features exhibitions on the that focus on the history of operations from Sudan in 1885 through to Afghanistan. The mezzanine level features the 'tools of the trade', that is, the small arms and their associated training aids, how they have changed and developed and how these changes have influenced the tactics, techniques and procedures of the Regiments of the Royal Australian Infantry Corps.

The museum is open Wednesday to Sunday from 9am - 4pm and is closed on public holidays.
